Text input fi eld

possible to select a character with the <+> and <-> keys. After a character is chosen the
next position can be selected with the
→
arrow key.
Option fi eld
Option fi elds are objects with a toggle function (yes/no) or (true/false). When the button
according to the option fi eld is activated the value is toggled. The actual value of the option
fi eld is displayed by a cross. When the cross is visible the object has the value ‘yes’ or
‘true’ otherwise the value is ‘no’ or ‘false’.
Optionlist
Optionlist fi elds are fi elds that can contain a limited set of values. The optional values
become visible as the object is activated. Now the required value can be selected by using
